Capital, small school field.
Rujun, Minister of the Ministry of War, looked at the Beijing troops who were training, and his gloomy expression improved slightly.
The soldiers are brave and have the heart to open up frontiers and defend the country!
The cavalry is sturdy and has the ambition to kill the enemy and become a lord!
The new army's strategy not only attaches great importance to individual soldiers' actual combat and improves daily training, but also attaches great importance to the improvement of military formations and constantly studies how to defeat cavalry with foot and cavalry with cavalry.
Some veterans who were once unremarkable showed superior abilities in the new army strategy and passed the assessment and were continuously promoted.
The two people Ru Yu valued most were Li De and Liu Qixia, who had been promoted from ordinary soldiers to thousands of households.
Li De was good at defensive warfare. When he was studying military formations, he created a method of fighting with multiple weapons, using fire gunmen, crossbowmen, spearmen, shieldmen, long swordmen, and short swordmen to form a large square array.
Once encountering cavalry, they would take the lead with muskets and fire a volley, then cover them with arrows from bows and crossbows, use spears to meet the enemy and resist the horses, guard with shields, and attack with long swords and short swords.
The infantry square formation has repeatedly suppressed the cavalry. Its tactics have been practiced hundreds of times and are basically mature. The plan has been submitted to the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Office, and is waiting to be promoted by the entire army.
Liu Qixia is good at cavalry and is good at assault and hard battle.
He believed that the Jin Dynasty's "Iron Floating Figures" and "Guaizi Horses" were extremely powerful cavalry, so he worked hard to create a hundred "Iron Floating Figures" of heavy armored cavalry. Instead of using leather ropes to connect the heavy armor with long knives, they can advance steadily.
The other nine hundred cavalry are all light-armored cavalry, mainly focused on rapid raids on the flanks and rear.
Both Li De's tactics and Liu Qixia's cavalry formations had their merits, but in Ru Jun's view, heavy armored cavalry was not suitable to defend against the enemies of Northern Mongolia.
The reason is very simple. The heavy armored cavalry moves slowly and can be used to attack fortresses and break formations. However, the enemies in Northern Mongolia do not have strong camps. They cannot keep up with their speed when fighting and cannot escape when running, which is a bit of a disadvantage.
But after discussing with Xu Huizu, Rujun did not give up Liu Qixia's tactics.
Xu Huizu believed that it would be advantageous to have a heavy cavalry, which could not only serve as a guard for the pro-army, but also as a vanguard. The most important thing was that once the vassal king threatened the capital, this army could also play a role.
The biggest change in the new army's strategy is to give vitality to the Beijing camp, allowing soldiers to put forward different opinions, allowing soldiers to study and try new tactics on their own, and supplementing it with incentive measures for assessment and evaluation. The entire Beijing camp is full of vitality. Working hard day and night, and constantly tempering, his combat effectiveness is already impressive!
Ru Yu stood on the high platform and looked at the training of the new army, her eyes filled with relief.
Suddenly, several soldiers screamed. Ru Yu quickly looked around and saw five soldiers lying under the barbed wire fence, unable to move. She quickly walked over and found that the wooden stakes supporting the barbed wire fence were broken, and the barbed wire hung down, causing injuries. Soldier.
"Why not save people?"
Ru Yu came over and saw that the soldiers who were rushing over looked at them but did not step forward to lift the barbed wire fence. She couldn't help but get angry.
Before the soldier could reply, a voice came from afar.
"Don't move, don't move."
Ru Yu heard the familiar voice and turned around to see that King Zhu Zhi of Liao and King Zhu Geng of Min were coming. Behind them, there were twenty followers carrying wooden boxes and carrying wooden sticks, trotting over.
Ru Yu couldn't help but widen her eyes, a little confused.
These two princes did not go to the Qinhuai River, but came to the small school?
Ru Yu looked up at the sun and said depressedly: "The sun is still there, what's going on?"
"Haha, someone is injured again."
Zhu Geng shouted with excitement on his face.
Ru Ruan's beard was unmoved and he glared angrily. This guy is too heartless. The soldier was injured, but he was so happy?
After all, Zhu Zhi was more mature. He greeted Ru Yu and said, "Master Ru, don't blame the soldiers. It's my order. Once a soldier is injured, you must not act rashly. You should inform us as soon as possible." Show your skill early and heal one or two."
Ru Yu's eyes almost popped out.
A good move early?
Heal one or two?
Is it you Zhu Zhi?
And your brother Zhu Geng?
The only thing you two can cure is Miss Qinhuaihe's empty, uh, money bag.
What kind of virtue do you have that I don’t know about?
A guy who can enter and exit Qingyan Building three times in ten days, you tell me that you know medical skills?
Three times is too few?
No, this is just the number of entries and exits, because once you enter, you don't go out and you stay directly in Qingyan Building.
Memorials impeaching the two kings for their lack of moral integrity were common in the court. Some ministers even urged Zhu Yunwen to let the two kings leave the capital as soon as possible and go to the local area to join the vassal state.
But these memorials were completely silent.
I heard that the emperor sent a message to the cabinet that there is no need to submit any memorials regarding the vassal relationship between the two kings.
It is estimated that many of the memorials were thrown into the brazier by Xie Jin to keep warm.
Ignorance, no virtue, nostalgic for the place of fireworks, this almost became the unanimous opinion of the courtiers towards the two kings.
Ru Jin didn't have much opinion on Zhu Zhi and Zhu Geng. Although it was a problem to be too lazy to go to the capital to establish a vassal state, in the end it was the emperor's private matter.
Besides, apart from staying in a brothel and inviting a cultural troupe to perform at home for several days, these two guys didn't do anything extraordinary. I didn't hear of anyone who robbed someone's wife, beat someone's child, or owed anyone anything. The money spent on the house.
When Zhu Zhi saw that Ru Yu was silent, he ordered his followers to check the soldiers' injuries. Fortunately, Zheng Yuetian, who was wearing wooden armor, did not suffer any serious injuries. Two soldiers' heads were scratched, and three soldiers' hands were also pricked. Injuries, the most serious one, the palm was almost pierced.
"You lift this way, you go there, you are here, move gently, and apply force in the direction of the wound. This soldier's hand was inserted diagonally into the wound by the wire. You need to apply force in this direction, do you understand?"
Zhu Zhi entrusted his followers.
After the attendant understood, Zhu Zhi spoke to the soldiers and ordered the barbed wire to be raised. The soldiers gritted their teeth and held it straight.
"Quick, drag it out and prepare water, alcohol, and gauze."
Zhu Zhi shouted quickly.
Other attendants stepped forward and pulled the five soldiers out. The attendants on the side had already opened the wooden box. In groups of two, they gathered around the soldiers. They first rinsed the wounds with water and then took out the alcohol.
"etc!"
Ru Yu gave up and yelled to stop. She looked at the glass bottles of alcohol and shouted, "What is this? How can it be used on soldiers!"
Zhu Zhi took the alcohol bottle from his entourage, opened it, shook it at Ru Yu, and said, "This thing is called alcohol. It has the effect of reducing swelling and avoiding pus. Just pour a little on the wound, even in the hot summer." Day, the wound will not easily suppurate."
"How can we use unknown objects! What should we do if a soldier is injured!" Ru Yu was unwilling to try. She looked at the two kings and said with a cold face: "The two kings are interested. I think it is better to send the soldiers to the medical officer." Go there."
"Medical officer?"
Zhu Zhi laughed and said without giving in: "Master Shangshu, there are 50,000 soldiers in this small school, and there are only five medical officers! Five people! And during the drill just now, more than a dozen soldiers fell off their horses. We sent them over there, and we also sent them over there with a few broken bones. Do you think it will be the turn of these soldiers to treat their wounds after they are sent over?"
Ru Ruan's old face turned red.
The number of military medical officers in the Ming Dynasty was really pitiful, with one medical officer per ten thousand soldiers.
Not only the Beijing army, but also the entire Ming Dynasty, there were not many outstanding medical officers.
In some places, people may have to walk for several days or nights to seek medical consultation for their wife and children. By the time they find a doctor, it is not uncommon for a person to have already died.
Even if the wife and children are still alive and successfully find the doctor, they may be put to death by the doctor again.
There is no way. Although it is difficult to recruit talents in this industry, the threshold is very low. You have been wronged...
